EDI Project Standard Template
A created EDI Project will already have the required Domains (i.e., Segments/Loops), Attributes (i.e., Elements), Scenarios, Scenario Chains, Scenario Chain Set, and Receivers for generating the EDI Document/Transaction Set.
A Generator is assigned to each Element/Attribute and will generate one or more values to create the standard template. All Segments/Loops within the EDI Project are enabled by default.
The EDI Document/Transaction Set will be generated from the standard template unless it is customized within a G-Case. EDI Documents/Transaction Sets generated without using G-Cases will not have the appropriate Segments, Loops, and Element Values for a specific test case or business scenario.
How to Access G-Cases
G-Cases can be accessed through the EDI Management Dashboard by completing the following steps:
- Select the EDI Project within the EDI Header Pane.
- Select the EDI Project Version within the EDI Versions Pane.
- Click on the G-Cases button.
How are G-Cases used for EDI?
G-Cases can be used to customize the EDI Document/Transaction Set for an individual test case or business scenario. G-Cases belong to a G-Case Suite and Category (i.e., Load, Negative, Integration, Smoke). A Suite may contain many categories, and a category may have one or more G-Cases.
Each G-Case generates the required EDI test data for a single test case or business scenario. The G-Case setup determines what EDI data will be included within each generated Document/Transaction Set. Within a G-Case, users can do the following:
- Enable and disable Segments/Loops
- Set the Loop Count for Segments/Loops
- Add a Test Case Domain for a Segment/Loop
- Add Attributes to a Test Case Domain
- Make Generator Parameter Changes for an Element/Attribute
- Assign a different Generator to an Element/Attribute
Note: This training module shows how to perform the above actions to set up G-Cases to generate customized EDI Documents/Transaction Sets.
Accelerated G-Cases for EDI
GenRocket provides accelerated (or pre-configured) G-Cases for each EDI Document/Transaction Set to aid in generating EDI test data. They can be copied and quickly altered to generate EDI test data for a specific test case or business scenario.
The G-Cases reside within an Integration Category in an automatically created G-Case Suite. The entire suite or individual G-Cases may be copied and modified as needed. For example, the following accelerated G-Cases are available for EDI 837I Documents:
- Institutional Health Insurance Claims
- Two Claims for the Same Provider
- PPO Repriced Claim
- Out of Network Repriced Claim
- Automobile Accident
